The Chicago Campaign,

CHICAGO, ILL, March % 1.-THE politi
cal destruction of Carter HARRISON" T
j. Morgsns says, "was caused by the
same element that made him Mayor. He
was elected and beaten by the Socialists
They were the people who kept him II
office for eight years. He was ungrateful
AMI never acknowledged the fact he
owed US his repeated elections, and so
will eveIy man meet political death if he
uses the labor movement for his own
political advancement" There was great
activity about the headquarters of the
United Labor party, in the Old Board of
Trade building, and arrangements were
made Tor huge meetings throughout
the different wards during the week. The
greatest confidence prevailed among the
people who crowded headquarters that
Nelson would be the next Mayor. "The
Union Labor party" said one of the
workers, "polled 10, 900 votes in this city
last fall. We have already naturGllzed
5000 new voters for Tuesdays election,
and besides we will get thousands of
votes from the Democratic party, on &C
count of the Democratic condition of at
fairs here" An effort is being made to

by defeat, therefore she has no other
course but to live on good terms with
Russis snd with Us. Russia came for
ward for Us in moments OF danger, and
We. will not remain with folded arms
should she be endangered"
NJ. Flourens said be had little fear of s
new alliance between Italy, Austria and
Germany. Italy being mainly q navsI
power, Germany and Austria could give
her nothing, and she would have no in
terest in taking part in a war against
France He believed the Bulgarians
themselves or the Turkish government
would expel the regents and Russia
would have no need TO interfere In Bulga-
ria. The situation there, he n ought, was
unwarIike. Touching Frsnce's relations
with England, he said, no complications
were likely to ariSe. England would
sooner or later quit E sypt, and she could
not dream Ct continental conquest.

The Fort Worth Western engineers art
still as busy as bees working on maps
pTOfles, estimates, etc.
President Paddock of the Fort Worth
and Rio Grande was in the city yesterday
and registered from SCulIyVille.
The Texas and Pacific is daily engaged
on the Rio Graude division in hauling cat
tie to Fort Worth, here to be transferred
to the Missouri Pacific for the Territory
It is believed that President Rhomberg
of the Austin and Northwestern will
have accomplished his mission in New
York in few days, aud that as soon as
possible after his return the work OF
broadening the gauge of the road will
begin.
The first fast mail reached Fort Worth
yesterday morning, few minutes after
s o'clock. This change places New York
and St Louis mail in Fort Worth praCti
calIy tWenty-four hours earlier than here
tofore. On April the Texas and Pacific
will change its time to make the fast mail
connection, but practically it is already
changed, the train waiting until the south
bound Missouri Pacific is in.
The railroads centering at Fort Worth
expect to do 8 very heavy passenger
business this spring owing to the fact
that great many immigrants will seek
the Panhandle of Texas. The Fort Worth
and Denver has made every preparation
to transport them to points on its line,
aud it will not be long until the company
has its road in operation 200 miles from
Fort Worth. When this point is
reached it is said the Panhandle Con-
strucuOn Company will promptly take
hold of the work and tracklaying will
proceed on its COntracs without delay.
Not quite thirty days ago g prominent
railroad contractor, who is engaged on
the Mount Plessant-Sherman branch of
the st. Louis, Arkansas and Texas, said
while in this city that he felt sure that
INSIDE Of sixty DAYS 800 teams would be
at work on the COmmerCe-Fort Worth
extension. If this gentleman Is correct,
work win begin in full blast about May 6,
which will be sixty Gays from the tine
the remark was made. In the meantime
the line will be located and all the pre-
liminaries for the work will be arranged.
DV glance at the map il will be seen
that with the completion of the ST. Louis,
Arkansas and Texas, Fort W0rth-C1and-
Ter line and the operation of the Tyler
Lufkin line, now the property of the St.
Louis, Arkansas and Texas, Fort
Worth will have direct communica-
ton with q section of Texas which
has hitherto been comparatively q
stranger TO her and whose people are
anxious TO establish commercial relations
with the merchants of the greatest dis
tributing center in Texas. The officials
of the Cotton Belt have demonstrated
their superior foresight as rsilrosd9men
by their decision to have such line in
operation at an early day.
Some days ago the Atchison took q new
departure in the matter of collecting
fares, and the Railroad Gazette says in
regard to it: "A newspaper item says
